[from Hartley Funeral Home] Obituary of Cleo Bremer Cleo Mae Bremer, the daughter of William and Adelia (Eckhart) Guhl, was born on September 9, 1927 in Lincoln Township near Hartley, IA. She attended school in Hartley and graduated from Hartley High School in 1945. Following graduation, Cleo took various courses to become a fully licensed insurance agent in the states of Iowa and California. During her career, Cleo held non-resident insurance licenses in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska. On June 10, 1947, Cleo was united in marriage to Stanley Bremer at St. John's Lutheran Church in May City, IA. To this union two sons were born: Wayne and Steven. Following their marriage, the couple lived in May City, IA, Hartley, IA, Rock Rapids, IA and Fremont, CA. Cleo was a wife, mother, and homemaker, along with working as a secretary, office manager and claims manager for insurance agencies in Iowa and California. She also served as the Manager of the Northwest Iowa Underwriters Insurance Brokerage for many years. Cleo was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Hartley where she and Stan served as youth counselors. As an avid reader, she enjoyed all types of reading, including insurance and other contracts, health and nutrition information, homemaking tips and the Bible. Her reading was a part of her life until days before her passing. Cleo also enjoyed Bible study, as well as leading the sessions. Much to her delight, she was preparing to lead a Bible study, scheduled for the day before her passing. In years past, Cleo found pleasure in sewing, and spending time fishing at their cabin on Shore Acres. She loved animals, especially her cats, Watson and Chumlee, her dog, Fer, and her childhood horse, Billy. After her retirement, Cleo became an Elder for Northwest Iowa Aging, and a volunteer member of SHIIP (Senior Health Insurance Information Program). In her own words, at times she was "overwhelmed, but never at a loss for words". On December 17, 2013, Cleo became a resident at the Community Memorial Health Center in Hartley where she passed away on Tuesday, August 15, 2017 at the age of 89. During her lifetime, Cleo was diagnosed with a disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder. Symptoms may include joint dislocations, scoliosis, chronic pain, or early osteoarthritis, uncontrolled blood pressure and vascular disease. It was Cleo's wish to donate her body to the University of Iowa Medical Research in hopes that her body could help with medical research to find a cure for this disease. Preceding Cleo in death were her parents; husband, Stan in 2013; son, Steven in 2016; and a sister, Thais Arlene Schmidt. Cleo is survived by her son, Wayne of Kiowa, CO; his children: Eero (Joy) Bremer and Vanessa (Nick) Minnard; her close friend, Pam Lux; other relatives and friends.2 |

| Obituary | 22 June 2016 | Obituary: The obituary for Steven was recorded on 22 June 2016. [from funeralplan.com/sanborn/obits?id=309052] Steven D. Bremer, son of Stanley Darrell and Cleo Mae (Guhl) Bremer was born October 12, 1951 at Hartley, IA. He lived his youth in the Hartley area until his father's occupation dictated a move to Rock Rapids, IA, then to Fremont, CA. Steve was confirmed at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church MS in Fremont, CA where he completed his education, graduating from high school there. After high school, Steve served his country for 3 years in the United States Navy aboard an aircraft carrier. Following his honorable discharge, he was employed by the Spokane Airlines for a time. He also worked at a lumber camp and was groundskeeper for Marilyn Rider. As his parents required more assistance, Steve relocated back to Hartley in order to help out where he could. Being an artist at heart, whenever Steve could find some "down-time", he would spend it drawing or dabbling in photography. He too, was a "Mr. Fix-It" like his dad. He passed away on April 7, 2016 at the age of 64 years. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, William and Adelila Guhl, and Christopher and Eleanor Bremer; his father, Stanley D. Bremer; and two paternal aunts and uncles. Left to cherish his memory are his mother, Cleo of Hartley, IA; his brother, Wayne Bremer of Kiowa, CO, and his children: Eero and Vanessa; aunts: Joyce Fowler of Adel, IA, and Virginia Smith of Fremont, CA; other relatives and friends.
